The first one out of the gate is jOBS, starring Ashton Kutcher as the late Apple co-founder, and Josh Gad as his business partner Steve Wozniak. While there have been no recent updates regarding the other movie, the Aaron Sorkin-scripted Steve Jobs, the first trailer has debuted for jOBS, directed by Joshua Michael Stern. Watch the latest footage from this upcoming drama, which follows this business pioneer's life from 1971 to 2000, in theaters from Open Road Films on August 16.

hmmmm.... why am i not impressed with this? Feels... formulaic? Probably because I am comparing this to the social network which blew me away. I can't judge it yet, i need to see more. Plus, Steve jobs simply 'classed up' electronics. They used to be clunky and bulgy with bland colors. The biggest thing steve jobs did was simplifying and formulating the persona we recognize today. Lie in the trailer, he made it cool and sleek that is affordable to the general public.
